    Sorry to see you're having an issue restoring your files, Sylvain255.

     

    Does this happen when you're using Dropbox Rewind, or when you restore your files from the deleted files page?

     

    Have you tried from a different browser or a private browsing/incognito window?

     

    Let me know what you find.

    Are you seeing the below (screenshot) when using Rewind via Dropbox.com website?

    If yes, it's one of many  frustrating Dropbox problems. The rewind feature seems to fail more frequently if there was a lot of data traffic just before the date which you're restoring.  My work around was to wait for a few days and then restore individual folders instead of a full account restoration.
